a haiku that, for no apparent reason, imagines Jesus Christ as a cherry red Cooper Mini

If being ‘cute’s’ a

crime, then that’s the sleek, shiny,

cross I’ll have to bear.

    Mini’s are like fat girls and mopeds … fun to ride, but you would never want your friends to see you on/in one.

  2. Gas-Guzzling SUV says:

    Wow, that’d be even more fun than Liberal Guy & Liberal Gal’s Yugo !!!

  3. Bill D. Cat says:

    Are they carbon neutral ? If so , how the hell is AlGore supposed to fit in one ?

  4. furriskey says:

    Mocking Jesus is one thing, squeezing ‘being’ into one syllable is just tasteless.

  5. alppuccino says:

    If done right, your chubbette of choice should provide sufficient cover so that your friends need never see you riding her.  FYI.

  6. Mark says:

    Only if you buy the ones equipped with a white roof.

    Shouldn’t that be ”then that’s the sleek, shiny cross …”

    That darn car from Nazareth gets all the chicks…

  9. cranky-d says:

    Yeah, Rita, go ahead and correct him in the comments.  He loves that.  Makes him feel like writing even more stuff.

    If it gets totaled, you’ll find it back in the garage, good as new, three days later.

  11. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Yes it is, Rita.  But in my defense, I was writing in a hurry so I could watch the Rockies unload on the Red Sox for the second straight evening.

    Plus, I know I’m not being graded, so I tend to get a bit lax.

    My trunk is tiny, but this would explain how I seem to be able to get an endless supply of fishes and loaves out of it.

  13. lee says:

    And if you un-cross the cross…

    Racing strips baby!

  14. mojo says:

    I actually like that one.

    ha! yeah, and try leaving your water bottle in there some time.

  16. Pellegri says:

    The haiku is great, the comments make it better. Now I want a Mini. bwahaha…

  17. Pablo says:

    Which way to eternal salvation?

  18. The Pope says:

    Golf is the answer.

  19. SteveG says:

    I heard the suspension on those is rough.

  20. Jim in KC says:

    So with the John Cooper Works package it becomes what, God his own bad self?

  21. McGehee says:

    Golf is the answer.

    But it’ll get you a fair way closer to a green ride.

    The haikus are nice, Jeff, but I won’t be duly impressed until you compose a full-blown villanelle that puts that epicene Dylan Thomas to shame.
